Personal injury claims

Personal injury claims can include claims for injuries not only to the physical body, but also psychological injuries. And, compensation can be claimed for the financial losses associated with these injuries.

Personal injuries vary greatly in severity – personal injury may cause minor pain and suffering and slight impairment of movement, or it may cause debilitating pain and substantial impairment of movement or functioning. Similarly, personal injury may be short-term, recurring or permanent.

When can you claim for compensation?

If you have been injured and it was not your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. To claim compensation, someone else needs to have caused your injury and been at fault.

Personal injury also does not have to arise from a single sudden accident or event – it may be the cumulative effect of unsafe practices or activities. For example, many injuries at work are caused by repetitive activities, poor working practices or poor ergonomics – repetitive strain injuries (RSI), bad backs and strains are often caused in this manner.

How much can you claim?

To find out your personal injury claim value – i.e. how much you claim is worth – you can use a personal injury claim calculator. This will give you an indication of how much you might receive, but to find out an accurate estimate, you will need to talk to a solicitor.
